Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power at the outdoor disconnect and main breaker.
Steps:
- 1. Inspect compressor harness: With power off, check the multi-pin connector from the inverter to the compressor. Ensure it is fully seated and free of corrosion or damage.
- 2. Check for vibration damage: Look for rubbed-through wires or loose clamps around the compressor area. Secure any loose wiring.
- 3. Power cycle and test: Restore power and command cooling. If code 59 returns immediately, the inverter or compressor is likely at fault.
Professional service: Speed control and inverter diagnostics are not homeowner tasks. Contact a Bryant-certified technician for further testing and possible replacement.
